On the last episode of Workplace Weekly, we introduced the story of Kimberly Nguyen.

She didn't expect the tweet to go viral, but it did, so here we are - and this is part two of our conversation. Kimberly’s story and capacity to articulate the core systemic issues of the matter speak directly to the frustration...

Episode recaps the story so far, as well as detailing the status of any matters related to the case study discussed through the podcast. We reflect deeply on the pillars of workers rights, institutional betrayal and corporate retaliation and strive to summarise these pillars into the ecosystem of behaviour we can anticipate in a Super Punk Corporate Meltdown.

Episode Four presents the results of matters that developed earlier in the timeline of our case study, and the nature and impacts of data breaches in anonymous surveys, and the implications that has for entities charged with independence from an embattled company.

Episode Three point Two continues our discussion around the media. We discuss the difficulty the media seems to have when it comes to workplace issues, and the complexities that are not accounted for in some reporting about workplaces. Citing examples from recent months, we also assess the impact these difficulties can have on certain stakeholders.

Episode Three point One kicks off our lengthy analysis of how the media is utilised or seemingly weaponised as an apparatus of control in public debates around workplaces. We cover ground on inaccuracies in reporting, how a company could use social media and traditional publishing media to “socialwash” or “Boris Bus”, and syndication and distribution methods that can tip the scales in matters of public debate defined by power dynamics and resources. We discuss the impacts this can have. Fanny...

Episode Two looks at the concept of abrasive leadership, exploring the implications for all stakeholders when an individual starts exhibiting traits of abrasive leadership.

We also hear what...

Episode One begins in January 2022, where our story kicks off with a company’s actions that begin to ripple across the community, and those impacted directly.

Welcome to After Hours with Hand & Heart. No scripts, a few quips, and most certainly: no b******t. CW: we discuss abusive work environments, harrassment and bullying. One a personal note from Kate: this is something I wish I'd done throughout the course of last year - but time did not allow it. As the ground is rumbling below the feet of Brewdog and Copenhagen food, it felt like it was time to create a space to have a conversation not only about what is happening, but look back at was...
